RINCON, GA—Virginia Transformer Corp. is investing $40 million to expand its assembly plant here, creating more than 400 new jobs.
The factory specializes in manufacturing large, custom power transformers for utilities, data centers and renewable energy projects. The state-of-the-art, 250,000-square-foot facility produces transformers ranging from 30 to 500 megavolt-amperes at up to 525 kilovolts.
“Virginia Transformer is the largest U.S.-owned producer of power transformers in North America,” says Prabhat Jain, Virginia Transformer’s CEO. “We are known throughout the industry for being an engineering company that makes power transformers with the shortest lead times. This additional investment will further underscore that position.”
Construction is expected to begin this month. Applications for jobs in operations, maintenance and assembly are being accepted now.
“Virginia Transformer’s continued investment in Effingham County is a powerful endorsement of our community’s skilled workforce, strategic location, and supportive business environment,” says Matt Saxon, chairman of the Effingham County Industrial Development Authority. “The retention of more than 800 existing jobs and creation of 400 new positions represents a major economic milestone for our region.”Looking for quick answers on assembly and manufacturing topics?
